Dane Fletcher is a free agent linebacker, most recently playing for the New England Patriots. The linebacker was signed by the Patriots as a rookie free agent on April 29th, 2010. Fletcher starred for the Montana State Bobcats where he was the 2009 Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year after finishing the season with 67 total tackles, seven sacks and two blocked kicks. Fletcher has also been a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After redshirting as a freshman in 2005, he played primarily on special teams as a freshman before topping the Big Sky Conference with 19 tackles for a loss in 2007 with 51 tackles and three sacks. In 2008, Fletcher had 6.5 sacks despite missing three games. Fletcher finished his college career with 162 tackles, 51 Tackles for a Loss and 16.5 sacks.
After going undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft, Fletcher signed with the New England Patriots. Fletcher became one of two undrafted rookies to make the Patriots’ opening day roster, although he was inactive for the first three games of the 2010 season. In Week 4, Fletcher made his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins. In Week 6, Fletcher saw his first considerable action on defense as a reserve against the Baltimore Ravens. The next week against the San Diego Chargers, Fletcher forced his first career fumble. In Week 15, Fletcher’s late-fourth quarter sack of Green Bay Packers quarterback Matt Flynn, the first of Fletcher’s career, helped thwart a Packers drive and preserve a Patriots win.
At 6’1” 245lbs, Fletcher had a spectacular workout at his pro day running the 40-yard dash in 4.61 seconds, doing the short shuttle in 4.35 seconds, and had a 6.93 time in the three-cone drill. His explosion was further illustrated with a 36-inch vertical leap to go along with a 9’3” broad jump. In such a compact frame, Fletcher also showcased above average strength benching 29 reps at 225lbs. on the bench press.
The featured blue reebok shorts were worn by Dane Fletcher on Montana State Bobcats NFL Pro Day on March 16th, 2010. Fletcher has signed the shorts and added “Worn on Pro Day” in silver. Nice unique item directly from the former Patriots fan favorite!
